Prep rules & exceptions
Do this before it goes to the curb, or it stays there.
- Door service mix — Some areas receive rear/side-door collection rather than curbside - the schedule map's hatching distinguishes curbside vs curbside-east-side service.
- Vegetative setout law — City LDR Ch. 51 regulates vegetative waste placement times/locations; violations trigger special collection charges.
- Outside-limits rule — Residents outside city limits fall under the Solid Waste Authority, not city sanitation.
